Pin the Treasure on the Map Pirate Activity
by Sara Routhier
(Barre, Vermont)
This is an adaptation of "Pin the Tail on the donkey".
On a Large piece of Oak Tag or cardboard, draw a large Treasure Map, with an Island in the middle, and Ocean on all sides. Include sea-serpents, pirate ships, palm-trees and pirates on the map (don't forget the X!). Also, draw a N/S/E/W compass on the bottom corner. Using 4/6 index cards, Draw or Print out Treasure chests using different colors, and attach small pieces of tape, or tape flat thumb-tacks to the back (for small pirates, stick with tape!)
Have your guests wear a bandanna over their eyes, and spin them around, facing them towards the Map. Whoever "pins" their Treasure closest to the X wins! (for smaller pirates, whoever gets their "treasure" on the island gets a prize! more prizes = happier kids)
